Abstract

In this chapter, analytical galloping dynamics of linear cables is discussed through a two-degree-of-freedom nonlinear oscillator. The nonlinearity in the two degree-of-freedom oscillator is only from aero-dynamical forces caused by the uniform airflow. The analytical solutions of periodic motions for linear cable galloping are discussed from the analytical solutions with the finite Fourier series. The corresponding stability and bifurcation analyses of the periodic motions in the galloping system of linear cable are carried out. Numerical illustrations of trajectories and amplitude spectrums are given for galloping motions in linear cables. From such analytical solutions, galloping phenomenon in flow-induced vibration can be further understood. The galloping dynamics of linear cables is similar to the dynamics of van der Pol oscillator.
